Progress is slow, it is uneven, it is fragile and in some parts of the world it is being erased.

I do believe in the old saying 'What does not kill you makes you stronger.' Our experiences, good and bad, make us who we are. By overcoming difficulties, we gain strength and maturity.

I always work with refugees and I think they are the most amazing people and it's a privilege to spend time with them, so I will always.

For whatever reason, I don't know why, but Cambodians learned something in their suffering and their struggle that we have lost touch with.

I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.

~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it's just as important to sit down and ask my son how he's feeling or talk to him about life.~

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that's just the best way to live.
